1369-1371 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-unit residential building at 1369-1371 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1907, has undergone significant recent improvements centered around safety upgrades and substantial remodeling work. Most notably, between 2023 and 2024, the property underwent comprehensive fire safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system with 42 heads, underground fire service, and fire alarm monitoring systems totaling over $41,000.

The building experienced major renovation work starting in 2015, when a $425,000 project was initiated to remodel the front elevation, add new bedrooms and bathrooms, and install a roof deck, though this work led to several building code violations in August 2018 for exceeding permit scope, including unauthorized removal of front stairs, rear wall, and floor framing systems. This violation was ultimately abated in April 2024. The property has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades over recent years, including the installation of two new 200-amp electrical panels (one for each unit) and a complete plumbing system overhaul in 2022, featuring two kitchens, three full bathrooms, and two powder rooms.

Historical records show earlier maintenance work in 1996 (reroofing) and 1984 (stairs repair), demonstrating ongoing attention to building maintenance. The property has experienced some resident and community concerns, as indicated by multiple building complaints between 2018-2022 regarding construction work, safety issues, and vacant building conditions, though these complaints are now listed as not active. Recent municipal calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to parking violations and sidewalk issues, with one open case regarding a collapsed sidewalk reported in August 2023.
